﻿<p>The element type <em>IfcFlowTerminalType</em> defines a list of commonly shared property set definitions of a flow terminal and an optional set of product representations.  It is used to define a flow terminal specification (the specific product information that is common to all occurrences of that product type).</p> 
	     
<p>A flow terminal type is used to define the common properties of a flow terminal that may be applied to many occurrences of that type.  A flow terminal acts as a terminus or beginning element in a distribution system such as a ceiling register in a ducted air distribution system, a sink in a waste-water system, or a light fixture in an electrical lighting system. Flow terminal types (or the instantiable subtypes) may be exchanged without being already assigned to occurrences.</p> 
	
<p>The occurrences of the <em>IfcFlowTerminalType</em> are represented by instances of <em>IfcFlowTerminal</em> or its subtypes.</p>
